Introduction
The following chapters will discuss everything that you need to know to get prepared for your pregnancy. Pregnancy is a great time, one full of excitement, and maybe a little bit of anxiety as you aren’t sure what to expect. This guidebook will provide you with all the information that you need to be prepared for every step of your pregnancy.
Inside this guidebook, we are going to explore all the different parts of your pregnancy and how to be prepared. We will talk about how to pick out your OB-GYN, how to eat the right foods, what to expect during each of the different stages of the pregnancy, how to prepare for labor, and so much more!
As a first-time mother, you may be uncertain about what to expect during the pregnancy. Make sure to check out this guidebook and learn how exciting and amazing your pregnancy can be.
Chapter 1:
Pregnancy Overview
Congratulations! You’re pregnant! After you have taken some time to celebrate and show off your excitement, you may be wondering what needs to be done next. As a first-time mom, you may feel overwhelmed with all the things that are on your to-do list. Some of the most important things that you need to do as you wait to meet your baby include:
Calculate the due date: You can bring out your calendar and try to figure it out, but one of the easiest ways to do it is to find a due date calculator online. It is going to tell you the date your baby is due, it can give you a calendar that shows when you can hear the heartbeat, when you find out the sex, and more.
Choose your doctor: You are going to spend a lot of time with your doctor during this time, so it is important that you find someone you see as a good match. Once you find someone, make sure you schedule your first appointment. This appointment will usually happen between six to eight weeks along.
Decide when you want to announce your pregnancy: This is different for everyone. Some will choose to tell people right away, and others may worry about the risk of a miscarriage and will wait until the first trimester is done. Some will tell family and friends but will wait to tell their boss or co-workers, because they don’t want different treatment at work. You can pick the time when you tell others and even the method that you want to use.
As soon as you find out that you are pregnant, it is time to start taking care of your body. This means that you need to pay attention to your health and the foods you are eating now. You should be prepared for some of the early symptoms of pregnancy, though these are different in each person. And be aware of some of the different changes that are going to occur in your body during this time.
The important thing here is that every woman is going to be different. Just because someone else had horrible morning sickness doesn’t mean that you will. And just because you are experiencing different symptoms compared to someone else doesn’t mean that something is wrong. If you are ever concerned about your pregnancy, make sure to talk it over with your doctor.
Chapter 2:
Do’s and Don’ts
Being pregnant can be a wonderful time. You are excitedly waiting for your new addition to come, counting down the days, wondering what they will be like and who they will grow up to be, and trying to get everything prepared. With all the new information that is coming your way, you may be confused about some of the things to expect during this new time. Let’s take a look at some of the things that you should do, and some things that you should avoid, during your pregnancy.
Do Take Your Multivitamin
As we will talk about in a later chapter, eating a diet that is balanced and has plenty of healthy vitamins and minerals can be one of the best ways to provide your body with all of the healthy nutrients that you and the growing baby will need. However, your body is going through a lot right now. With that and the morning sickness that could make eating properly almost impossible, a healthy diet may not be enough.
This is why it’s recommended that you take a prenatal vitamin each day. You can choose to go with a regular multivitamin, but the prenatal is often going to contain higher levels of specific nutrients that you really need when you are pregnant. Nutrients like iron, calcium, and folic acid are found in higher concentrations than regular vitamins, and they are going to help with the proper development of the fetus and can help prevent against birth defects.
Don’t Smoke
Your OB-GYN should discuss this with you right away, but it is so important that you don’t smoke while you are pregnant. If you are a smoker, make sure that you stop right away. Stay away from others who smoke as well.
Babies who are born to women who smoke during pregnancy are more likely to have learning disabilities and are more likely to be born at a lower weight compared to children who had mothers who didn’t smoke at all. In addition, children who were born of women who smoke are more likely to experiment with smoking at a younger age and get hooked.
Try to Get Plenty of Sleep
While you are pregnant, you are likely to feel tired, like all of the time. Anxiety about the pregnancy, anticipation, and changing hormone levels can make sleep hard to come by during your nine months. Pregnancy can be really demanding, no matter which trimester you are in, and it is important for you to get the sleep that you need.
It is so important to get as much sleep as you can during the pregnancy. This means take a short nap any time that you feel tired and set a bedtime that you can stick with. Most pregnant women need to get somewhere between seven and nine hours of sleep each night. Don’t feel bad if you are tired and worn down during this time. Your body is building a whole new life, and that can be exhausting. Take it easy and relax when you can.
Avid the Alcohol
Just like with the smoking that we talked about before, you also need to make sure that you avoid drinking any alcohol while you are pregnant. Alcohol can really impact the development of your baby. Women who drink any alcohol while pregnant could deliver a baby who is dealing with fetal alcohol syndrome. Symptoms of FAS could include:
Low birth weight in the baby
Behavior problems
Learning disabilities
Lagging patterns for the baby in their growth and when they hit development milestones.
The amount of alcohol does not seem to be the issue. Even smaller amounts of alcohol on occasion can still cause problems. If you run into issues with drinking during the pregnancy, it is important to talk to your doctor right away to help keep your baby healthy.
Do Add in Some Physical Activity
Sure, you may be tired and it may seem like a crazy idea to try and work out, but it is actually really good for you and for the baby. We are no longer focusing on the days when a pregnant woman needed to just sit at home and not lift a finger when they were pregnant. Exercise is good for both the mother and the baby. In addition, regular exercise during the pregnancy could help to combat many issues that come up including:
Excessive weight gain
Muscle pain
Insomnia
Mood problems
If you were someone who spent time exercising on a regular basis before you became pregnant, then it is usually fine to keep with that amount as well. You can always talk with your doctor about any of the adjustments that you may need to make to your routine. This may become more of a problem during the second and the third trimester, depending on how your pregnancy goes.
If you did not have a regular exercise routine before the pregnancy, then you should talk with your doctor about the best way to incorporate a fitness routine into your day. You will want to start out easy so that you don’t cause harm to yourself or to the baby, but there is no reason that you can’t start reaping the benefits of a good workout program.
Do Not Eat Any Raw Meat
Raw or any undercooked meat, as well as eggs, can carry some risk of foodborne illness. Food poisoning can also be an issue here. These conditions are hard enough on you, but they could lead to life-threatening illnesses for the baby and in some cases, if they are severe enough, could cause birth defects or a miscarriage. Make sure that all the meat and eggs that you consume while pregnant are always well cooked and prepared properly.
Eat Some Seafood
Another thing that you should consider doing when you are pregnant is to eat plenty of seafood. This seafood can be loaded with plenty of great minerals and vitamins including iron, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids. All of these are important for baby and for mom. Make sure that when you do eat seafood though, that it is cooked all the way through.
One thing to note here is that you should make sure that you are avoiding any fish that is raw or fish that contains higher levels of mercury because these can be harmful to the baby. Some fish that do have this higher level of mercury and should be avoided includes:
King mackerel
Tilefish
Swordfish
Shark
Avoid the Deli Meats
Deli meats may be convenient and may be something that you would like to eat on a regular basis because of their ease; they are really something that you should avoid when you are pregnant. All deli meat includes cured meats, smoked salmon, sausages, and hot dogs. These can cause a variety of foodborne illnesses like toxoplasmosis and listeriosis.
If you do decide to consume these kinds of meats, make sure that you cook them through well to reduce the risk. In addition, make sure that you eat milk and cheese that are pasteurized, not raw. You can also wash all of your produce to make sure that you eliminate any harmful bacteria that are present there.
Do Not Sit Inside of a Hot Tub
Though the idea of a hot tub may seem like a great idea to relieve some of those sore muscles and any other pregnancy-related discomforts, it is not something that you should do. This means that you should avoid things like saunas, Jacuzzis, and hot tubs. Research suggests that the heat that comes from these can be harmful to the baby and there is some research that shows how using one of the above during the first trimester could double your risk of miscarriage.
Get the Flu Shot
No matter what time of year you are pregnant, it is a good idea to go out and get a flu shot. As long as you don’t have any special circumstances that would make getting the flu shot a bad thing, this is perfectly healthy. Your doctor can discuss this with you. But getting the vaccine during pregnancy not only helps you, but it can also help your baby. Your baby will not be able to get the flu vaccine for their first six months of life, so getting the flu shot during the pregnancy not only helps them during the pregnancy but also afterward.
Limit the Amount of Caffeine You Consume
While
